Vortex was forward thinking enough to include a high-quality aluminum throw lever to help rapidly change magnification. For example, if I use Black Hills 77-gr. I had tested the tracking beforehand, dialing the turrets up to 30 MOA before going back to zero. Unsurprisingly, the Gen III passed with flying colors.
